Every night this week I've been getting home from work at 7pm and going straight out to the shed and working on the 'K till 12:30-1 in the morning. My good mate Dazza has been busting his ass to help me get this thing done by the weekend.

We dropped the engine in last weekend so this week we've been flat out hooking up all the auxiliaries. There was a few problems with the original wiring that Dazza found and fixed up and we've added heaps of new stuff in. We've fitted the AU thermos and tranny cooler from the wagon, borrowed my monster tacho and oil pressure warning setup from my torana. The warning lights from the computer were just hanging off the computer under the carpet, so Daz extended them and worked them into the factory dash - we used the EST warning light as the engine management light and wired in the original alternator warning light. We also mounted the diagnostic port inside the glovebox so that we can easily diagnose what's going on if I see the engine management light.

The alternator warning light is very important for burnout comps because it lets you know when you've thrown the belts off the engine!! That's exactly what happened to me in the last burnout comp in the wagon, but I didn't put it all together in my head because I was too busy doing a skid. This time it's burnt into my brain that if I see that light, I need to drive out of there because it's going to overheat very quickly!
